Who wants to learn about advertising?

I’m thinking of teaching a six week or so advertising class here in Chicago if anyone is interested. Ideally you will have just graduated college and are looking to learn about advertising. But i don’t really care who you are or what stage in life you’re at. Just so long as you’re dead keen to learn about advertising. Because trust me, i am dead keen!

I have taught advertising in the past at our local ad portfolio school. and kind of enjoyed it. but the one thing that annoyed me as that invariably there were some students just twirled their and acted like I was boring them. because they REALLY weren’t that into advertising. they were still in college in their heads. and i was just another boring lecturer. i wanted to strangle those people. but that’s against the law. apparently!

So i thought i’d launch an Escape Pod ad class.

criteria for admission: you must REALLY, REALLY, REALLY love advertising and want to learn more. and you have enough to pay for one 12 pack of Stella Artois. the class will last as long as the twelve pack of stella. so no more than six can attend.
